Air con condenser

[steveskeggy]

Sorry if this is not the correct forum.
I went to have my Air conditioning filled last week on my S55, but they could not do it because there were a couple of holes in the condesnser.
I now have a new condenser and drier.
I am not that fussed about fitting them just yet, its cold enough outside and will only get colder.
I do have an issue though.
WIS says to drain the coolant, remove the radiator, and take the condenser out that way.
However, looking at the job, it seems to me that the better idea would be to just take the slam panel off, and pull the condensor upwards, saving faffing around with the coolant and rad.
Anyone done one of these before?

Sorry can't help with your procedure,
but would say that excercising the AC system can help prevent dried out seals and can lubricate the compressor.

ATS recently notrogen tested mine and found the condensor leaking. I replaced it and asked them to do that test again rather than sitting for 1/2 an hour with the machine deciding if it would refill or not.
